Vanda and Young

On this weeks show, we pay tribute to a great Australian musical partnership, performing, songwriting and producing duo Harry Vanda and George Young.

Vanda and Young met at an immigrant hostel in NSW when they were teenagers and went on to be part of the internationally successful band the Easybeats, writing all of the Easybeats’ later songs including the hit Friday on My Mind. Towards the end of the band’s career, they started producing and they went on to become  in house producers for the Albert Productions record label in the early 1970s. During that decade they contributed, as producers and/or songwriters, to about 20% of the music on the Australian charts, including tracks by Stevie Wright, Ted Mulry, John Paul Young and ACDC. In the late Seventies they returned to working on their own music, forming the band Flash and the Pan. Australian music would not have been the same without this powerhouse partnership.
